About this home
50 CENTRAL AVENUE UNIT 15A
A rare chance to be HOME for the new season. Residence 15A at Plaza Five Points is in pristine, move-in-ready condition at the very HEART of downtown Sarasota — this offering is offered at a standout value by square foot and condition that's tough to match in today's downtown market. If your plan is to be settled before the holidays and wake up in place for the season ahead, this is the address that makes it easy. Live in the city's historic "Five Points," long recognized as the cultural and social crossroads of downtown. Just steps from your door: the park, the bayfront, the library, theaters and galleries, restaurants and breakfast spots, the farmers market, Whole Foods, and signature Sarasota events at the Opera House. Everything is walkable — leave the car parked and simply enjoy. This 15th-floor corner residence delivers open city views and a healthy 1,595 square feet of true living space — genuine room to spread out, not a compact tower unit. Two bedrooms, two baths, and a well-appointed kitchen with European-style wood cabinetry that reads clean, warm, and modern, with full-height cabinet runs that signal real storage and design discipline. An efficient open layout flows to a corner lanai with elevated views, balancing openness with privacy (see the 3D floor plan in photos and video tour link). Secure assigned tandem parking for 2 vehicles, a re-imagined valet entry, and dedicated air-conditioned storage make day-to-day life effortless — ideal for full-time living or a refined, lock-and-leave seasonal retreat. Plaza Five Points is intentionally different: only 49 residences, so the building offers a quiet, uncrowded calm rarely found in downtown high-rises, with the personal service to match. Self-managed with long-tenured on-site leadership, you can count on consistent care, cleanliness, and attention. Amenities are built for real living — a full-sun heated pool and spa, an updated clubroom overlooking the water, a guest suite for visitors with step-out pool access, concierge service, secure package handling, and a well-equipped fitness center — plus optional gatherings and outings in a respectful, low-key setting. Built in 2005 to modern hurricane standards, Plaza Five Points is admired for its construction quality, intimate scale, and enduring value. For the buyer who wants to own before the new year and step into the season already home, Residence 15A offers not just a home, but a lifestyle rooted in connection, walkability, and quiet sophistication.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
